The Influence of Elastic Support of Component Glass Panes on Deflection and Stress in Insulating Glass Units-Analytical Model.

ABSTRACT: Insulating glass units (IGUs) are the most common filling for external building envelopes. These elements have many advantages related to the thermal protection of buildings. However, some climatic loads are generated or modified due to the sealed gas cavity between the glass panes. The gas enclosed in the cavities changes its parameters under external load, which affects the operational deflection and stress in an IGU. In most computational models describing this phenomenon, the component panes are assumed to be simply supported on the edge spacer, which is considered a sufficient approximation. This article, which continues previous work, assumes that the component glass panes can be supported elastically at the edges. The parameter describing this connection is rotational stiffness. Bas
